APPLICATION FILED JULY 30, 190.7.

' To all ulhom t t may concern:

-- WILLIS w. FRANTZ, on WAYNESBORO,PENNSYLVANIA.

- Pennants mama Ann RADIATOR;

I IS W. FRANTZ, a citizen of the United States, residing 'at Waynesboro, in the county of Franklin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and'useful Improvements in Portable Heat- Be it known that I, W

M invention, in which water is used as the eating medium, provides a unitary and self-contained device which may be' bodily moved about an apartmentas desired, the heat-producing medium being a lamp or gas flame the burner of which forms an integral part of the device, the entire construction b 7 eing effected with the fewest ossible-numer of parts and connections, 1; ey being capable of ready examination for substitution,

re air or otherwise.

' view of the same, also in part section.

. v 2, 1 represents a jacket or inc car ing' out my improvement I em loy the well own and efiective' system of obtaimng heat by radiation through the medium of water. v i i In the accom anyin drawing, Fi ure 1 is a side view oft he pre erred form 0 my invention, partly in section. Fig. 2 is aFplan is apart sectional elevation showing a mo dification; and Fig. 4 a plan thereof.

Similar numerals of reference indicate slmilar parts in the respective figures.

Referring more particularly to Figs. 1 and osed receptacle adapted to hold the water. The jacket 1 is provided with tubes 2 extending across and completely through it. At the lower left hand corner of the jacket 1 is a lamp or other flame-producing medium 3, mounted upon or secured to the jacket so as to be movable therewith. vThe entire device is preferably erected upon feet 4 having rollers or casters 5.

The burner of theheat producing medium is shown by 6 it being inclosed, but in a manner admittin free access-of air in a funnelshap'ed mout 7 constituting the lower end of a system of pi e 8 which, as shown,- passes through the jacl et '1 to its upper left hand corner, where the pipe is provided with 'a screw connection 8*, to which a removable escape pipe 9 may be applied. The funnelshaped mouth 7 is also furnished with a similar screw comiection so that the lamp or other heat-producin medium may be detached from the j acket and ipe system as desired. I do not limit myse f to thesh'ape Specification of Letters Patent.

lindrical of other form; nor to the character of the lamp or other heat-producing medium, it being only essential that when in operative position. it shall form an integral though v preferably detaclmble part of the ra- In Fi s. 3 and 4 a modification is shown in which t e jacket or water containing receptacle 1 is furnished with an external water circulating device forming a part thereof and connected as shown to the upper right hand and also to the lower left hand corner of the jacket. This Watercirculating device is the tube 10 which, extending at an upward angle lengthwise of the jacket or receptacle 1,

turns upward andis provided with a neck 10 which enters the upper right hand corner of the jacket; While at the lower left hand cor- A tube 8 through which the products of combustion are carried is concentric with the water tube 10 and at the lower end of the tube 8 there .is an enlargement 7 into which the burner of unitary, and is by preference mounted upon f legs having. rollers or casters'5. In each form of the improvement the ack t 19 provided with a filling neck 12 and a discharge coek 13.

In operation, the jacket is filled with water, and heat a plied to the pipe system through which the heat from the products of combustion are conveyed to the water, while the usual radiation of heat occurs. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the heat is conveyed through the body of water within the jacket by means of the internal pipe systenr 8; whereas in Figs. 3 and 4 the same effect is produced by means, of the pipe 8 which is surrounded by a body .of water in the tube 10 and in circulatory relation to the main body of water within the jacket.

It has been found in practice that the device herein described is eflieientrfor the purposes intended.

It will be understood that in each form in which the invention is herein shown and described the pipe leading from the heating device passes through the water jacket or receptacle; and that the heat conveyed by the pipe is givenout to the water contained in the receptacle.

My invention is capable of minor changes in detail which may occur to the skilled me with Y 110 chanic without the exercise of invention, and

such minor changes are intended to be covered by the following claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. In a portable heater and radiator, the combination of a water receptacle, radiator tubes arranged transversely thereof, a flame prroducing medium, and a pipe extending om the flame producing me 'um through said water receptacle and adapted to provide for the escape of the products of combustion,

saidtransversely arra ed radiator tubes being situated in the pa l of the circulation of the water within said receptacle, substantially as set forth.

eeaeaa 2. In a portableheater and radiator, the combination of a water receptacle, radiator tubes arranged transversely thereof, a flame producingmedium, means for admitting free access of air to thefiame, and a pipe system passing through said -water receptacle and arranged in close juxtaposition to the radiator tubes, said coiled fpi e constituting the means for the escape o t e products of combustion, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presenceof two witnesses.
